Elizabeth's Grimoire

Merlin and Arthur were currently eating in a restaurant, The two of them were waiting for Elizabeth who was picking her own grimoire. Arthur who had a bored look was just reading his own Grimoire, Merlin who saw him just continues eating and spoke in a calm voice.

"Arthur, So How are you?" Merlin decided to ask about Arthur, She has been focusing on Elizabeth these days so she wanted to know what Arthur's current power and progress was. Arthur who heard his respectable teacher asking about his progress sighed and spoke to her.

"I'm almost reaching the Adept rank." Arthur said with his calm voice, It was shocking for him to be already reaching the adept rank since most Magic Krieger would start at 20 since that would be the time their Magic Cores would solidify. Some can be early like Arthur who created his Magic Core at the age of 14, But some are more shocking and this was Elizabeth since it didn't even take a month for her to create her own core.

"That is good." Merlin nodded, The Progress of her first student is very fast. She needed to wait for Elizabeth since she wanted to check about the Chaos and while Merlin was thinking about Elizabeth. Arthur who was right next to her, decided to ask about something.

"Master, What do you think will happen to Junior Elizabeth?" Arthur asked, He was curious about his Junior's Grimoire but there was something he would like to ask. Does Elizabeth know about the ranking of Magic Krieger and the Types of Grimoire out there. This was something that kept bothering him.

"I think she will be okay." Merlin said with a smile, Arthur who saw her was surprised for a moment. This made him think that something happened between Merlin and Elizabeth but Merlin must have seen something in his Junior to make an expression like that.

"Master, Did you tell her about the Magic Krieger and the Grimoires?" Arthur asked about the thing that was bothering him, He didn't hear his Teacher and Junior talking about it. They may have talked about it when he wasn't there but it just kept bothering him. Merlin who heard what Arthur said had a blank face.

"Don't tell me!?" Arthur seeing the blank look of his teacher was shocked, This was something shocking since his Junior Elizabeth just entered the library without knowing anything about it. This was a huge problem since a mistake would happen without information. Before Arthur could continue Merlin spoke about it.

"I trust her, She can find a Grimoire that is perfect for her." Merlin said with a sagely look, She trusted Elizabeth with all her heart especially seeing Elizabeth's bravery and cunningness. Elizabeth was very smart and was always calm, She didn't even see the panicking face of Elizabeth.

"Does she know the Magic Krieger ranks, Which is Starter, Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Master, GrandMaster, Exalted, ArchExalted, Legendary, Emperor, And lastly the God-Emperor Magic Krieger?" Arthur spoke about the rankings of the Magic Krieger, Merlin who heard it was surprised for a second and whistled to escape the responsibility. But after a while, she then spoke to Arthur.

"No, But it is okay since she won't have to deal with the ranking. I would tell her about it after picking her own Grimoire." Merlin said with a gentle smile which made Arthur sick. His respectable teacher acting like a brat who doesn't want responsibility, Made him pissed and continued on pressuring his teacher.

"Then Does she know about the types of Grimoire inside the Library, Which is Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Epic, Legendary, And Divine?" Arthur spoke about the types of Grimoire inside the Library, Even Grimoires had their own ranking and this depends on many things such as The Materials that were used to create it, The Addons, Or More.

The Rankings of Grimoire is like a type of Engines, The Magic Core is the Fuel while the Grimoires are the Engines of the Car. No matter how many fuels you have, You still need good engines and this also goes vice versa. This is why being a Magic Krieger is very hard.

The Common Type of Grimoires are just like the everyday engines, This Can only amplify the Magic Power for only 10x%. The Uncommon can amplify the Magic Power for only 20%, The Rare Grimoire can amplify for only 40%, The Very Rare Grimoire can amplify for only 80%, Epic Grimoire amplifies about 160% which also means that Grimoire can give almost or about 2x the magic power. Legendary Grimoire can amplify for about 320% this also meant that the Grimoire would give over 3x times the original Magic Power and the last one which is the Divine Grimoire is ultimately unknown.

Having a good grimoire is essential to being a successful Magic Krieger. Arthur himself had the same type of Grimoire as Merlin which means he had a Legendary Grimoire and as Elizabeth's senior he wanted her to have a Legendary Grimoire as well.

"Eh? No..." Merlin said while forcing a smile, Hearing what Merlin said. Arthur felt doom looming in, His Junior doesn't know anything about Grimoire. What would happen if she picks something that is literally not a good thing, The Moment you pick a Grimoire in that Library. You will be ultimately its owner no matter if it was an accident or not.

"We need to take her out of there before she could pick anything." Arthur said, He wanted to stop Elizabeth from picking the wrong Grimoire. When this was in Arthur's head, He began to stand from his seat and was about to stop Elizabeth but before Arthur could continue he felt a hand from his back. This hand came from His respectable teacher which is Merlin.

"Stop panicking, If you are a cool Senior. You should trust Elizabeth's choice, She is smart enough to make her own choice. You should know that I won't pick a student that is an Idiot, Or do you think I pick people like that as my student?" Merlin asked in a cold voice, This was the first time Merlin was acting like this, and Arthur who heard it felt a chill from his spine. He sat back on his seat quietly and continues to eat his own food.

"You should trust your Junior, Arthur." Merlin said with a careless grin, It was very different from the Cold Merlin that Arthur saw. Seeing his respectable Teacher acting like that, Arthur just sighed and tried to forget about the Cold Merlin.

————————————————————

Elizabeth who was in the Grimoire Library was lost, She was in the middle of nowhere. At a place that was full of books, She didn't even found anything that lives in this Library. Elizabeth was currently walking in some hallway that had books from left and right. While walking Elizabeth finally spoke.

"I am lost." Why does she have a tendency to get lost in things like this, She always gets lost in the mansion and when she memorize everything in it. She thought that she won't get lost anymore but this Library proves her otherwise, Elizabeth then continues walking. She was finding something she didn't know how hard could it get.

"I guess I'll just roam around until something or some grimoire makes me want to pick it." Elizabeth muttered while she was walking, The Library was very large that Elizabeth gave up on finding the perfect Grimoire for her. She just walked or roam around the Library so that she could find the perfect Grimoire for her, sooner or later.

Roaming around was Elizabeth's plan, She did what she plans, and when time passes she was in something that was weird. Elizabeth was currently looking at the weird area that didn't even look the same as the Library and this made the area stick out. While looking at the Area, Elizabeth spoke.

"This is a spook area." Elizabeth muttered, She felt that the area in front of her was colder. She also notices that some books were not on the shelves, It was scattering on the ground. Some Shelves were even empty while some were completely burnt or destroyed. This was weird and Elizabeth knew what to do.

"I'll just go back in my way, This area clearly has the vibes of must not enter." Elizabeth said as she turns around, She didn't plan on entering a spooky place. She wasn't afraid of it but she knew more than to enter a weird and suspicious face, She has no information about the place so it would be suicide to enter that weird area.

When Elizabeth was about to leave the area, She heard something. She turns her head around since she noticed the noise coming from the Weird Area. Of course, Elizabeth who was about to leave had thought about the possibility of this place being the area where she could find her own Grimoire.

'Why do I feel like something is calling me, This situation is exactly the same as the time where I found my weapon.' Elizabeth thought to herself, She felt that something was calling for her. It was the same situation as the time where she was choosing her weapons, Her instincts also told her to enter so there is only one thing Elizabeth could do.

"I guess the only thing I could do is enter." Elizabeth muttered and she entered the spook with a weird area. Elizabeth was walking silently, Her footsteps weren't heard but she still heard many footsteps, and sometimes the footsteps were heard even though she didn't walk.

'This isn't enough to stop me.' Elizabeth thought, The Footsteps that was heard must be the result of an Illusion. To be honest, Elizabeth was even surprised at the Illusion and how good it was. She still continued walking and the feeling was getting stronger, She knew that the Grimoire was near her.

Elizabeth who was walking in the weird area for a while saw something unexpected, It was a corner. It seems that the Dead-end is now near, Ever since Elizabeth entered the Weird area. She has been going in a straight line since there was no corner she could turn to.

After turning in the Corner, Elizabeth continues walking at a good pace. She wasn't going too fast, She also wasn't going too slow. After a while of walking, she finally saw something that looks like a chest it looks very suspicious but Elizabeth's instincts weren't giving her a warning so there must be a good thing inside the chest.

'There must be something important inside.' Elizabeth thought to herself, She first decided to look around the area for traps. She touches the floor in every corner and found out that there wasn't any trap. She was surprised at not finding a trap and this was weird since every treasure must have a trap with it.

"Let's just open it." Elizabeth spoke and head towards the Chest, It was a Black Wooden Chest. Just like your normal Treasure chest, The only thing that is different is the keyhole of this chest. There weren't any keyhole and just a hole that a finger could fit in to.

"Don't tell me that I have to put my finger inside it? I have no choice but to do it." Elizabeth has no choice but to put the finger in the small hole, She has traveled this far so why not go further. Elizabeth then slowly put her finger in the small hole while wishing that it won't chop it off.

A while later, Her finger was still there. The Chest opens itself, Elizabeth who notice this stared at the Chest and look at the thing inside it. Elizabeth who was looking at it spoke with interest.

"Just as Expected a Grimoire." Elizabeth said while looking at the Grimoire, It wasn't an old book like she expected. It honestly looks very new, It had a luxurious design around it. There was even a weird stone or crystal in the middle of it, It didn't have any color and was just pure white.

'Beautiful.' Elizabeth thought as her hands hold the book, This was the grimoire that was looking for her. While Elizabeth was holding the book, Elizabeth heard an unexpected notification. This was very surprising for her and then she looks at the notification with interest.
